Lt. General Andrew Leslie

His success with transforming the Army from a lightly equipped peacekeeping force to one of world’s premiere armies with superb capabilities has been recognized globally. That reputation rose even higher when he took on the task to transform the entire military; to look out over the next quarter century and transform the military to serve Canada’s future role on the world stage.
